Anyone keeping either the Illiger aka Blue Winged Macaw: P. maracana or the Severe aka Chestnut Fronted Macaw: A. severus specifically?
I have experience looking after some of the larger macaw species (A. ararauna, A. militaris, A. chloropterus, A. macao, A. ambiguus & A. hyacinthinus) in a professional capacity but never kept them privately. I am realistic enough to realise that I couldn't accomodate one of the larger species so instead have turned my attention to the above species.
Planning for the future, I would prefer a pair so that they do not rely on human company for companionship.
Any hints or tips which make keeping either of the two species different (besides size) from the larger species?
